Bern's First Snow of the Season

It's 6 am and this is where we found the kids.
in the backyard with snowballs
 But it was time for church.

The following day we had a big family snowball fight.

 The sun goes down earlier than my kids.
Kent, Erin, and Nate in hiding
 Of course, the kids have to try the snow.  Then they started making snowcones with snow from our roof top (available through their bedroom windows) and using the grenadine syrup.

 The next day we took a trip to the Gurten.  It was snowing when we left but 20 minutes later we had some fairly clear skies.

 We walked around for awhile on the top.
Love the snow covered trees!
 Some took the cable car back down and others took the fast way.
Kent and Nate
It was slow going at first but then it sure picked up.  They'll be heading back today.

Can't wait to go to the Gurten or somewhere to sled when we get back. Looks like fun. Have a wonderful Christmas. We love you guys and will think of you as we play our new games on our trip. Thanks.
